Solar HVAC: What You Need to Know

Hi, my name is Suzanna. When the old HVAC system in my home began to fail, I decided to invest in a new one. Over the past few years, I have become increasingly environmentally aware, so I wanted my new HVAC system to be as green as possible. I contacted an HVAC contractor and discussed what I wanted, and they suggested I have a solar powered HVAC system installed in my home. I did a little more research and I was really impressed by the solar option as it would save me money and help to save the planet. I decided to start this blog to encourage others to explore solar HVAC systems.

    The Role of a Silica Dust Collection System in Solving Silica Exposure
    Many industries are producing "respirable" or fine silica dust during their process. This is potentially a health risk to workers. Quartz is the most popular type of silica. Ranking among the earth's more common minerals, when finely divided, quartz can be a hazard. Silica risks are found in any job that mines, produces, or handles rock, clay, and sand, including gas and oil production, shipbuilding and road construction, paint and glass processing, masonry and stone-cutting, and concrete and asphalt production.

    Tips for Finding and Installing a Home Air Conditioner
    An air conditioner will keep your home fresh regardless of the outside temperature. However, it can be confusing to go through the many options to find and install a suitable model. Here are a few tips to help. Split System or Ducted System A key decision is whether to install a split system or a ducted unit. A split system can cool one room (or several if it's a multi-unit system), whereas ducted air conditioning can cool an entire house (wherever the ducts lead).

    A Guide On Reverse Cycle Air-Conditioning
    Although most Australian homes have an air conditioning system, most homeowners cannot differentiate between the various AC systems. Reverse cycle air conditioning systems are one of the most popular systems in commercial and residential settings. Below are some reverse cycle air conditioning FAQs to help you understand these systems.  What Are Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning?  Reverse cycle AC is a system that can heat and cool homes. During the warming cycle, the cold refrigerant absorbs heat from outside and gets compressed, producing hot air that is blown inside the rooms.

    Two situations in which you should choose ducted air conditioning
    If you're unsure which type of air conditioning system you should choose, and are in one of these situations, you should consider choosing ducted air conditioning. Your home has a minimalist look If your home has a minimalist look, and you want to ensure that the air conditioning equipment doesn't interfere with its aesthetic, then ducted air conditioning would be an excellent choice. The reason for this is that this type of air conditioning system is largely hidden from view; the HVAC contractor inserts the ducts into the cavities within the building's walls and the only components that are visible to the occupants of the building are its thermostat and its vents (which are usually flush with the walls and, therefore, not too noticeable).

    Four Signs That Your Heating System Needs Repairing

    3 Signs of a Clogged AC Drain Line
    An AC unit saves you from the wrath of hot weather by providing a cool, comfortable indoor space. If your unit malfunctions, one likely culprit is the drain line. A drain line gets rid of the moisture that your AC's evaporator coil produces during the cooling process. Unfortunately, rust, dirt, algae and microbes can clog your drain line over time. Below are some obvious signs that you have a clogged drain line and you need air conditioning repairs.
